===Q: How do I get a page deleted?===

See [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy]]. The simplest case is where an editor has created a sub-page of his or her user page and wishes it to be deleted. Put the code <code><nowiki>{{db-user}}</nowiki></code> at the top of the page, and save; an [[WP:administrator|administrator]] will then delete the page for you.

For example, if I'm done fooling around with some sandbox pages created as sub-pages of my Wikimedia user page, how do I get them deleted? The Help mentions "contacting an administrator", but if there is a '''list of admins''' somewhere, I was unable to find it. The wikipedia "VfD" approach does not seem to be implemented on Wikimedia, so I'm at a loss.

A: {{red link|Meta:Deletion_policy}} <!-- The page resolves, but just says the page does not exist. -->

A: The list of admins is here: [[Meta:Administrators#List of administrators]]
